DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

Ben Confirms Torrian episode has alot of flips
A lot of flips? Finally, this must mean it's the sly cooper episode I've been waiting for

Uhh arent Rogues either stat stompy or so haxy they can stop Flash? That seems like a stomp.

How many members are in Rogues? Boomerang, Cold, Trickster, Mirror, Storm Wizard, Turtle guy? Dunno about that detail.
By classic line up, 5 to 6. They're definitely haxxier, but stats wise, I wouldn't say they're that much higher than the Sinister Six. I'd argue they're fairly even speed wise even if the rogues have an edge.
 
Aang vs Traveler
Gru vs Megamind
Yugi vs Ash
Torrian episode
LA episode

Bonus epi is Columbo vs Light which said to be it own thing
So 6 left, curious if they gonna add some non ks ones between or they just run through all the ks ones

Then what, they do more polls or?
 
Where does he fit in? Also I'm a bit rusty with the current DC cosmology but I do believe the Superflow (Marvel) and Hypertime (DC) were roughly equal to each other.


Tbh I'll be pretty jaded if I had to deal with the salt, debunks, threats, etc from numerous fans from across several fandoms for any extended period of time, being a DB researcher in an unenviable role. That said not being able to take jokes/memes and (unless I'm missing something) seemly trying to create an echo chamber isn't gonna help anyone.
I will say also that DB is very... weird with Outer scaling right now. They make it a point that Godzilla and Hulk are equal in power, despite the fact that very clearly Marvel cosmology outscales the **** out of Godzilla - but then bring up this black box in the post analysis

It's like they treat all forms of Outer, Low 1-A - High 1-A, as the same level to start but if power is the deciding factor they just give it to the higher Outer anyways

From my perspective: it seems that Death Battle's logic is that Hulk is objectively more powerful than Godzilla and even the Entity/IT, but because the Entity/IT runs off of R>F shenanigans then cosmology scaling is irrelevant to it and thus is negligible to say Hulk out scales it when it's safe to assume they'll always be even with each other.

So instead of it being a matter of how powerful Hulk was, it was a matter of Hulk's range affecting a bigger cosmology in order to interact with the Entity/IT in the first place.
 
I hadn't seen it, it seems that links were copied when I copied and pasted the definition.

And that's fine... but that's not all you were doing.
That said, I won't respond to this; I'm not interested in discussing behavior (that's what threat moderators are for... I think).
Doesnt need a thread moderator regardless? Just dont try and paint a bad narrative please, cause thats what escalates things. Weekly knows what they're doing
 
It's so funny how I see MFs complaining about Hulk only winning because of Banner, a fundamental aspect of Hulk, when Godzilla was only so hard to kill purely because of Ultima.
I would have liked to see Joe Fixit, Green Scar and Devil collaborate too tho
 
@SpecterSkater I mean Liam was mostly reading off of the vs battle wiki stuff for Noel and admits his knowledge on the series isn’t the most expansive. Though it is surprising the votes even landed in 40-60 and it wasn’t as onesided towards Kiana.

well its a cast episode they'll use anything to win the debate and it was pitch mu
 
Oh yeah I forgot pitch matchups would be in the cast.

On the topic of Hulkzilla, I’ve seen some folks complain that DB gave Hulk everything, because apparently compositing Godzilla is not the same thing in their eyes.

Yeeeh... the loser side was bound to get salty. Had Hulk won because of any other factor there would be complaints about that instead. Same if Godzilla had won. I say not worth getting your mood spoiled by it.

I saw people complain about Hulk using the Green Door because since this is a Death Battle the moment you die you lose, you cannot resurrect yourself

Oh no yeah I understand.

It was neat to see them revisit the verse and admit "Nah we were way out of our depth when we did Sol vs Ragna, and now we're way out of depth for just a DBC"

I suppose it does make sense that it was that close of a decision as well since a lot of the discussion was "Does my child in a sandbox power negate your child in a sandbox power" without getting way too far into the nitty-gritty of each verse. Personally I still believe Kiana takes it if it ever did become an official battle, but I have a Honkai bias so...
 
@Entity Even though numerous immortal characters have been on the show and do just that on top of winning but no one bats an eye, on top of Goji literally dying twice before he had a shot at killing hulk in the episode but ok. Whatever floats their boat for Goji to win.

@SpecterSkater it’s still funny to me that Ben underestimated the complexity Honkai and BlazBlue has and assumed it’s like Invincible or Dragon Ball level simplicity. I’ll just say that with what I’ve been looking through for BlazBlue, Kiana is probably gonna need that old 1-A+ scaling for her to match what’s coming for the series.
 
Does Marvel Godzilla scale high enough to even match the below place or is that another instance of people overblowing crossover scaling?

Imagine complaining about undead characters because it's a Death Battle and they're already dead, so they should automatically lose
 
Watch them lose their minds when they learn Jason is a zombie by the latter half of his movies.

Marvel Godzilla would match Hulk in AP (until Rage Amps kick in) but doesn't have the Range to affect the Below Place
 
So barely anything changed if they used Ultima or Marvel scaling. Only that Bruce would have an easier time to kill Goji since he doesn’t have a higher existence respawning him over and over again.
 
Imagine your wincon being entirely reliant on a version of you that no one even likes
I actually like Godzilla Ultima, though I may be biased in that regard due to my love for eldritch horrors like Ultima.

Marvel Godzilla, especially in the recent Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe comic (which the writer stated multiple times that it's explicitly canon to 616 and is a sequel to the 60's comic) where he does crazy shit like (from reading the comic itself): killing a newborn Celestial, one shotting Thor, being too strong for multiple teams of heroes like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men to defeat, and being stated by Doctor Strange to be more powerful than he was in the 60's and just effectively terrifying him with how strong he is.

The big problem, as Maverick stated, is that Godzilla matches Hulk in AP but lacks the range to affect the Below Place. Though I should note that the third issue of Godzilla Destroys The Marvel Universe is going to involve Godzilla duking it out with Hulk, so it's going to be interesting to see how that turns out.

No need to say all that. Just go, "Sorry Normie, Hulk is Based, and Godzilla is cringe."

True. Also gotta lowkey agree with the crew exasperation of these 1-A matchups as of late. I know Maka and Ruby will buck the trend next (Love my girl Maka, but even I don't buy her getting Multiverse-tier feats from Fire Force scaling. I buy some amount of FF scaling because it's literally a prequel to Soul Eater and has to be considered) and I know Aang vs Traveler won't get that high. Ash vs Yugi will be up there, but probably not Complex Multiversal?
 
Folks mad they didn't use crossovers or focus on GIH mainly
But does Godzilla in hell amount to anything? Even if he fought God, Azathoth, Yaldabaoth, the Gigachad or whatever, those are still that story's versions of those characters with their own scaling, not Tier 1 to 0 due to scaling to their original stuff.
